Hi Everyone, This will be my second EVER grow as my first grow is almost over. During the past few weeks / months I recently found out that experience is the best teacher when it comes to what everyone here does so well!

I'm happy to apart of the community!

Also; as with my last grow; I discovered that you can't kill a @mephisto plant..The genetics are just tooo strong! :bow: So without further ado..

LETS DO IT!! The Grow I mean; NOT SEX! :d5: (movie reference Grandmas Boy) :smoking:

IMG_20161216_221039.jpg

I went with (1) Ripleys OG and (1) Tyrone Special as @Gatorbackbob suggested.


Germination Method

I tried and tried to get seeds to germinate the last few times and seemed to have the hardest time. Wasted 5-6 good seeds trying to get one to pop using tons of methods (wooowwww; i know ;-)

@Gatorbackbob suggested I try the NVClosetMedGrower method on YT and a few editions (below) it worked perfectly. Here's exactly what I / He basically said / did and its worked 2 / 2 times for me so found my go to method next round.

Got a red solo cup and filled it half way with tap water, then put a splash of 3% hydrogen peroxide (1 tablespoon) in the cup. Next I dropped in the seed and set it in the closet for 8 hours. I then tapped the seed down so it sank and waited for a total time of 24 hours.

I then got a paper towel, poured some of the cup water the seed was in on the paper towel to get it damp. I then placed the seed (which was cracked open, no tap root yet) into the paper towel. Next I put the paper towel in an open sandwich baggie and then put that baggie inside a folded kitchen towel. I then placed the kitchen towel on top of the wifi and left it for 12 hours. Checked it and a tiny taproot formed. Waited an additional 12 hours and had about a 1/2 tap root.

Thanks @Gatorbackbob for the suggestion and rendition. Maybe this can help anyone who had newbie problems as I did.

(Wish I had a picture to Insert here although I didn't take any.. So close your eyes and imagine a seed with an alright size tap root :)

Planting

After 48 hours the tap root was out where I wanted it to be. I watered 24 oz around the soil, used a chop stick to indent the soil and dropped it in its forever home!

FOR-EV-ER....FOR-EV-ER....FOR-EV-ER
(sorry got stuck in the sandlot)

Anyways placed a tiny amount of soil over each seed with a wink, blew them a kiss, put them under a dome and within 24-36 hours each seed was above the ground for day 1. Must have been the extra love :d5:

"They live in a dome!? A F*cking dome Greg!? You gotta be shi**ing me! "

Anyways.. It's now Day 5...idk what just happened back there....(also my name is not greg, i don't know a greg)

Heres the Tyrone Special

Today is Day 7 for both the Ripleys OG & Tyrone Special

Temps
Day:
82F / 40% RH
Night: 72F / 63%

Today I moved both out from under the 45w Unifun LED and added the light
as a side supplemental light on the side. Not that it will help much yet more light the better.

They are now 30 inches below the 330W GoGrow LED with the 45W UniFun light on the side.

IMG_20161218_195754.jpg

In a gallon distilled water I added .03ml Mammoth P, .03ML Cal-Mag & .5 teaspoon molasses. (will be giving this and increasing as needed every third watering)

*Gave it a great shake n mix for a while*

I then put a 2 liter dome above each of them to create a ring around the plant and used 12oz of
water (for each plant) to distribute evenly around the dome. Then misted the top soil to
help with a little humidity for what its worth.

Here's the Tyrone Special

The Ripleys OG is a bit bigger and has a leaf tip curling up on the lower edge; 45W LED lights may have been too close? (Pic number 2)

First off Congrats on the auto blues grow, looked great! :thumbsup: You're gonna smash this new run. Very smart thinking ahead with the backup nutes. My KindSoil faded and I got smacked with a case of the calmag blues.
Second, your journals are rad and you're a funny dude. I'll be along for the ride :pass:
 
Hey guys, sorry to keep you all waiting; this is going to be a quick little update..

:woody:..dadada skip-a-few-take-me-to-day-.-.-......:woody:


*lePOOF*


OKAY! and we're here! :d5:


We have officially made it to... Day "Dirty-Dhree" Everyone! YAS! YASSS! YAASSSS!!! MUAHAHAHAHAA!!! (That's day 33 guys; if you don't a speaka da Russian)


Here's a Joint of some Auto Blues, or if you perfer a blunt.. while we discuss what the hell has been happening with these ladies the past few weeks.


I have my GoGrow V3 LED at 34" inches above the 2 pots and its as high as I can get them ATM. Ideally I need to get them to about 40" inches I feel to get the results Im looking for. Yet I don't have the space with my filter in the tent.

SUNDAY!!! SUNDAY!!! SUNDAY!!! "RIPLEYS OG" (I just like how the guy that says that in that one tv commercial...):shrug:haha

Last week (week 3 into 4)
I watered once with .5ml Mammoth P, 1mL Cal-Mag, 2mL molasses and twice with normal water ph 6.5. Everything was looking groovey and she was doing her thang!

Day 20 I topped the Ripleys OG in 5 spots as she was looking very healthy. I also snipped a few leaves off the lower nodes as well as 2 huge fan leaves where leaf tucking wouldn't work.

In the picture below she is on day 27 and 7.5" inches tall. I topped her 5 times total.

The top cola, and all 4 side branches were topped in the same day. The new growth is looking great. I also started to LST the branches to allow more light penetration after topping and defoliating the plant. I topped about 1.5 hours before lights out.

Day "Dirty-Dhree!!"
This week (week 4 into 5) Day 29 I watered once with .8mL Mammoth P, 1.5mL Cal-Mag, 2ML molasses..I am looking into something to help with Bloom. Big Up Powder possibly something to help the kind soil in flowering.

Giving a regular watering tomorrow on day 34. The Ripleys is still at 8" Inches for the past few days. It should be taking size soon.

Tyrone Special

This plant has been doing great the entire grow. No notes to speak of at all. She's growing tall, nice node spacing and no need to LST or anything as of yet. (Day 24) I only wish I would have topped her the same days I did the Ripleys.

I started LST on Day 24 because I realized I didn't start LST.... *see what I did there* :worship: :woody: :pop: :shrug:

Miss Tyrone is one hell of a plant! 10.5" inches tall. (obviously I want it taller tho) This is just a new record for me at this age! so YAY ME!! :woohoo: Hopefully they both get taller and grow some super massive jugz!:smokeit:

because as we all know...

:size:
Here's a few pictures that are pretty much the same; just at different angles. :baked:

Got some Baby Blue Kushlings on the bottom on days 17 / 15

Until Next Time!

Happy Growing Fam! :smokeout:
